What do you do with a two year old?

Emily had an adventure this afternoon that has left me wondering, what do you do with a two year old? I was at my mom's house doing laundry and of course Collin wanted to be fed. I was sitting in the tv room watching tv with Emily. She kept leaving the room but would come back watch more and leave again. She was carrying a shovel from my parent's sandbox. I didn't think much of it and I wasn't really in a position to get up and follow her. When I was done feeding Collin, Emily asked me to come with her and see the sand. I was a bit puzzled as there is no sand in my parents house. (Emily loves the sand table at strongstart.) So off to the kitchen we go where I discovered that Emily had made her own sand play area. She had dumped out about 9 cups of my mom's white sugar onto the floor. She had made roads and piles all over the place. I just stood there. She was so proud of it and then she looked at my face and her little face dropped. I felt horrible for ruining her surprise but all I could see was the mess. She told me, "Uh oh". I had to take some pictures. It is funny now but still....... I don't want to stunt her creativity but it was 9 cups of sugar. Lucky for Emily, she has a grandma with a strange sense of humour who found the whole thing rather entertaining.
